[quote=Anonymous]My son at 18 months had 6 words. One was mama. Three of them were sign language signs (more, milk and broken). The other two were ba' (daddy) and ba' (ball) No speech therapy. I have no idea why... in hindsight we should have done it. Life was pretty frustrating for a while. Anyhow fast forward to 4th grade where we had him tested for all sorts of issues and it turned out he had a verbal IQ of 138 which was pretty decent I think for a late talker. He had an incredible vocabulary. In high school he had a verbal SAT score of 780 and got a 5 on his AP exams for English Language and English Literature. (Proud mama here.) Got a college scholarship and is doing really well and communicates just fine![/quote]
